Hiatal Hernia
Dear Doctors,
I am suffering from acid reflux since few years. Last year I consulted a Gastroenterologist and he confirmed me Hiatal Hernia. He prescribed 2 medicines and 1 syrup. I used those medicines for 2 months and later I did not feel any changes in the condition. Actually the acid reflux increased after starting the Medication. So I stopped the medication. I Live away from the city area and due to COVID, I am not able to consult the doctor.
What can I do about this condition. The medication did not give me any relief rather it increased the acid reflux.
I am not able to concentrate on my studies and not able to sleep properly also.
Kindly advice how can I solve my health condition.
